In the examination shed.

The chief examiner, Zuo Hong, patrolled the examination room, watched most of the candidates writing straight lines, nodded in relief, and paused for a while every time they came to a cubicle.

Many candidates present are old faces. It is not uncommon for seniors in their 50s and [-]s to come to the imperial examination. When they noticed the arrival of the chief examiner, many candidates were secretly happy and sat upright, waiting for the chief examiner.

After reading it, I look forward to being appreciated by the chief examiner, and I will surely have a bright future and make great progress under the shadow of the examiner.

However, when some candidates looked up, they suddenly saw the examiner standing in front of the door, and they were frightened as if they had encountered a scourge. The brush in their hand shook, and a large amount of ink stained the entire paper.

The chief examiner Zuo Hong immediately frowned, and the examinee was so frightened that his face turned pale. The chief examiner Zuo Hong didn't even look at the examinee's test paper, turned and left.

There is a fixed number of papers provided for the imperial examination. If the paper is stained, no matter how profound the meaning of the article is, it will not be accepted. This is a test of the examinee's determination and stability.

A chief examiner standing in front of him would be so frightened that his pen would tremble. Such a timid examinee would be useless even in the officialdom.

The chief examiner, Zuo Hong, left in disappointment. The examinee looked at the stained paper, hopeless for the imperial examination, and immediately burst into tears. Because he disturbed the order of the examination room, he was dragged out of the examination room by the guards.

After this time, the chief examiner, Zuo Hong, stood a little further away to inspect the candidates, and when he walked to the end of the examination room, a candidate was tall and straight, with a clean and upright appearance, with a spirit in his writing, and clear eyes.

Hui Hui, at first glance, thought it was a son of a scholarly family who was taking the imperial examination, but he was wearing the clothes of a poor family.

The examiner Zuo Hong stroked his slender beard, aroused a little interest, and moved closer to observe.

Fortunately, the examinee was not overly surprised, calmly and steadily nodded to the chief examiner, and then continued to write and run.

Zuo Hong, the chief examiner, was attracted as soon as he saw the font on the scroll. The style of the pavilion is black and square, and the spaces between the characters are large and orderly. This is the most dignified and error-free style of the pavilion, but it gives people a sense of smoothness and smoothness.

The feeling of dripping, the majestic atmosphere reveals a kind of freehand brushwork of Yunlong's elegance, and the hidden edge is just right.

The unique insights between the lines are heavy and far-reaching, giving people a sudden enlightenment, and thinking about the grandeur and complexity of it, which is more difficult to find than excellent calligraphy.

Even the chief examiner Zuo Hong, a Jinshi who was born in the Imperial Academy, couldn't help breaking the rules of the examination room. He held up the examinee's test paper and immersed himself in it like no one else. Seeing the hearty and deafening part,

His eyes were shining brightly, and he even said a few words, "Wonderful!" '.

When he looked at Yan Qing again, he seemed to see a colleague who was about to rise to the top, with admiration in his eyes and a subtle respect.

Reluctantly putting down the paper steadily, clasping his hands behind his back, the chief examiner Zuo Hong walked into the cubicle, stretched his neck and looked down at Yan Qing doing the last question: Ce Wen.

The general content of policy questions is mainly about the current political affairs of the country, the country, the national economy and the people's livelihood. Generally, candidates will have beautiful flowers and talk about the prosperity of the country under the governance of the Holy One. This must be true in the examination room.

Of course there will be no mistakes, and I am not afraid of making any scruples.

Examiner Zuo Hong became boring after reading too much. After all, he also came here in the same way. Candidates who have not entered the officialdom know very little about current politics and people's livelihood.

Even if the essay is not brilliant, it’s good to just look at this excellent calligraphy like flowing clouds and flowing water. The chief examiner Zuo Hong stood calmly behind Yan Qing, watching her half-completed policy question, just after reading a few sentences,

His face changed instantly.

Staring wide-eyed in horror, looking at Yan Qing who was not showing any signs of mountain dew, he continued to write with a calm face. The chief examiner Zuo Hong was really anxious in his heart!

It's not that the article is poorly written, but that it's well written!

It was so good that he even wanted to hold the paper and run to the palace to review it for the Holy Majesty. Every strategy in it is a far-reaching strategy that is beneficial to the people's livelihood and the country. When he saw him, he wanted to beat his chest and cry on the spot

.

It's a pity...

These tactics were directed against the Turks.

Who doesn't know how courteous the current emperor is to the Turks, and a lot of gold, silver and jewelry are rewarded to the Turks every year. No, even the princess has to marry the Turks far away.

But the strategies in it are so good and so fast. The chief examiner Zuo Hong is all in these strategies, and he sees that Turkic is about to be dismantled step by step, and Xuanguo is going to include that vast prairie into Xuanguo

's layout.

The chief examiner Zuo Hong couldn't put it down, and sighed heavily. If the emperor saw this article, he would be furious, let alone become an official, or his life would be lost.

"Stop writing." The examiner Zuo Hong held down Yan Qing's pen, with regret and worry in his eyes.

Like a well-educated elder, seeing the worrisome future of the younger generation he admired, he couldn't help but love talents, and once again broke the taboo of the examination room, intervening in the candidates' answering the exam.

Yan Qingxin accepted the examiner's kindness, but she just started writing.

Her eyes were firm and unquestionable, and she expressed her heart one by one, wishing to turn her knowledge hidden in the world into a strategy to save Xuan Hanyue.

She understands that today's Holy Majesty will not easily touch the Turks. In order to stop the greedy faces of the Turks, he feeds a lot of property every year and kills many soldiers to stabilize the stability of the border.

But such a stable, precarious "Guotai Minan" cannot bring Xuan Hanyue back. The only way to confuse the situation is to persuade Xuan Hanyue, who is the third princess, to capture the Turks.

There is a chance not to marry a Turkic.

It's dangerous to take this step, but she really has no choice, Xuan Hanyue is going to get married soon, if she doesn't want to find some way to break out of the encirclement, it's better to take a slanted sword, so that the current emperor will notice her,

Then she won half the battle.

It's a pity that she is quiet now, and the only thing she can do is to pass the imperial examination, meet the Holy Majesty in the palace examination, and persuade him not to let Xuan Hanyue marry the Turkic prince.

The examiner Zuo Hong also saw that she would not change the firm will in the examinee's eyes, sighed regretfully, and left quietly.

The imperial examination is over.

The test paper was sealed and sent to the government for correction by the chief examiner and adjutant.

And Yan Qing's test paper should have been in the examiner's hands. The first examiner praised it, but when he saw the last question, his expression of admiration became hesitant, and he raised his hand to take the paper.

Put it in the pile of discarded papers, but in the end I was reluctant to give it up and handed it over to the second examiner.

The second examiner was still the same, and he was also undecided, and then all the examiners read it, and with a bitter face, he took the paper to the chief examiner Zuo Hong.

"Lord Zuo, the inferior people really can't decide on this paper."

The chief examiner Zuo Hong showed doubts on his face, and said: "You are all from the imperial examination, and you are also Jinshi, how can you not even be able to choose a candidate's paper... Okay, show me that paper

. "

When the papers were in hand, Zuo Hong, the chief examiner, also showed a bitter expression.

The paper he got was none other than the humble scholar he met in the examination room that day, but what she wrote was not good, but she wanted to write about the strategy of how to disintegrate the Turkic forces.

I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the upper body!

If it is really abandoned, it will be a great shame for these talented scholars to abandon this talented examination paper.

With the arrogance of a scholar, the examiner Zuo Hong still gave it a pass, but his ranking was at the bottom.

The examiners looked at the pearly and dusty paper, knowing that this was the best result, but they still couldn't help sighing.

Release day.

The crowd was surging under the wall, and the guards beat gongs and drums to squeeze out a narrow passage, and posted the imperial examination list written in advance on the official document wall.

With the appearance of a series of names, the examinees under the wall cried loudly, fainted in grief, and were also maddened by joy, stomping and cheering, and ran wildly, not even knowing that their belts were loosened, or

He didn't care when he said that, he was stopped by the guards in disheveled clothes and ordered to put on neat clothes.

Yan Qing also knew his ranking, the last one, almost lost his name to Sun Shan.

But she didn't care too much, as long as she could enter the palace test, she still had a chance.

The palace, the imperial study.

Since ancient times, imperial examinations were considered to be a major event for a country. The ambitious Emperor Xuan Yi must have paid close attention to everything in the examination room, including the examiners once had a dispute over an examination paper, and in the end it was Zuo Hong, the chief examiner.

The case was settled and passed.

Emperor Xuan Yi found it interesting that what kind of examination papers would make a group of Jinshi come from, it can be said that the top scholars in Xuan Kingdom were very entangled.

According to the secret guard, the examinee was born as a scholar, from a poor family, and was brought up by a widow. His previous articles were unknown, and he really didn't see anything special.

If it is true, I heard that the examinee was handsome and had an emotional entanglement with his third daughter, but the latter examinee named Yan Qing was kicked out of the princess mansion by Yue'er, and even ran to

Teaching in a remote private school on the outskirts of the capital.

He looked like a mediocre and useless person, at most he was relying on a good skin to confuse his princess. In the end, his behavior was exposed and he was kicked out of the princess mansion by his clever daughter.

A trace of contempt flashed in Emperor Xuan Yi's eyes.

He really didn't believe that there was anything worthy of Zuo Hong's entanglement with the articles written by this kind of stuff!

But he was still a little curious, to see what kind of articles would be written by his clever daughter, the pretty boy he likes?

The secret guard secretly took Yan Qing's test paper out of the government, kneeled respectfully on the ground, and presented it to Emperor Xuan Yi.

Emperor Xuan Yi took the test paper casually, with a little casual indifference.

But gradually.

Leaning down, his eyes were immersed in the wonderful questions of the test paper, he sat up straight, and instead held the test paper with both hands, his eyes sometimes wrinkled and sometimes widened.

Approval will be shown, and the thin and cool lips will bend unconsciously.

It's been a long time.

Emperor Xuan Yi still couldn't calm down, holding the corner of the test paper, his eyes were as moved and passionate as meeting a confidant.

If it's another ten years in the morning, no!In five years, with this strategy, he can gradually disintegrate the Turks without any effort, so he doesn't have to wait until now.

Emperor Xuan Yi put down the paper reluctantly, with a hint of arrogance as an emperor in his eyes.

He finally understood why Zuo Hong and his group of Jinshi were so entangled. This test paper was good, but unfortunately it didn't fit the persona he had pretended.

If he saw someone give such a memorial in the court, in order to deceive the barbarians of the Turks, he would be furious in public, scaring many ministers into silence.

Then he went to find General Wang Liangfang and Prime Minister Heping Hongbo privately to discuss whether the countermeasures were feasible.

What a pity...

His army of [-] is ready, and the great scene of the destruction of the Turks is in sight, so such a good strategy will be useless.

Emperor Xuan Yi read it carefully, as if he wanted to engrave this amazing policy question in his mind.

But after a short wait, Emperor Xuan Yi picked up the candle on the side, and with his cool peach blossom eyes were deep and dark, he quietly lit the test paper on fire, and burned it little by little until it was reduced to ashes.

——Such policy questions must not be circulated outside.
